Walker v. State

Jack Walker was convicted, in tbe city court of Monticello, of selling whisky. He filed a motion for a new trial, *215which was overruled. He then petitioned the superior court for a writ of certiorari, the judge of the superior court refused to sanction the petition, and he brings error. Two questions are made in the record. First, did certiorari lie from the judgment of the city court overruling the motion for a new trial ? And second, did the judge of the city court comply with the statute requiring him, on 'a written request by defendant’s counsel, to reduce his charge to writing ?
